Elisabeth Plank in Concert

"HARPS ARE NORMALLY CONFINED TO RINGING OUT AT THE END OF AN OPERA AS THE HEAVENS OPEN UP. OTHERWISE, THE INSTRUMENT IS CONSIDERED A MUSTY OLD SALON MUSIC PROP, WITH A HIGH POTENTIAL FOR KITSCHY EXCESS.   ELISABETH PLANK PROVES OTHERWISE." (TAKT1)

Rethinking the harp, combining tradition and innovation  - such is harpist Elisabeth Plank's aim. She leads the audience in a journey of discovery - the harp as an exquisitely, modern solo instrument in its own right, with an exciting and unusual repertoire that spans the centuries. In her curated programs the harpist discovers forgotten repertoire, puts history in modern contexts and gives contemporary music a stage. Elisabeth Plank creates impressive, as well as filigree soundscapes – a world of colours to lose oneself in. Elaborate, emotional, captivating.
